The whole world celebrates Jesus’ birth on Christmas (Dec. 25). However, the birthdate of Jesus is not in the Bible. It just says that the shepherds, who were keeping watch over their flocks in the fields, praised Jesus. (Lk 2:8)
It is not possible to keep watch over flocks in the fields in the cold winter. Was Jesus really born on Dec. 25? The early Christians did not celebrate Jesus’ birthday. Then, where did Christmas originate from? December 25, Christmas . . .
“December 25 is NOT Jesus’ birthday, but the sun-god’s. Christmas originated from a pagan festival for the unconquered sun.” [Encyclopedia Britannica]
‘What? Christmas originated from a pagan festival?’
“In ancient Rome, there was a festival named Saturnalia from December 17th to the 24th.” [History of Christian church]
“During this festival, people indulged in merry-making regardless of wealth or social position.” [History of Christian church]
‘No! How could this be!!! Christmas, Dec. 25, is not the birthday of Jesus!!!’
“Dec. 25, from which the days begin to lengthen, was regarded as the birthday of the god Mithra.” [Encyclopedia Britannica]
On the pretext of breaking the faith in Mithra, the Roman Catholic Church enjoyed the festival by changing the “birthday of the sun-god” into the birthday of Jesus. [The Golden Bough by James G. Frazer]
The Christmas tree originated from the pagan ritual of tree worship. [Encyclopedia Britannica]
The image of Santa Claus with a white beard, in a red suit, was created in 1931 for a Coca-Cola ad. [Illustrated by Haddon Sundblom]
Churches know very well that Christmas is not the birthday of Jesus.
However, they are still lying that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday.
Christians are totally in the dark about this fact.
“It was after AD 354 that Christmas was celebrated on Dec.25.” [World Book Encyclopedia]
After AD 354? Jesus’ disciples and apostles never kept Christmas!
“Christmas was neither established by God, nor based on the Bible.” [Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature]
They changed the the birthday of the sun-god into the birthday of Jesus! This is scary!
The Bible says that if people keep man-made rules, they worship God in vain.(Mt 15:9)
It is written in the Bible so many times how the Israelites were destroyed by following pagan customs! (Eze 11:8~12) In the Desert of Sinai, they thought they were worshiping the LORD God while worshiping an idol.(Ex 32:1~6)
Jeroboam, king of North Israel, kept a feast in a month of his own choosing, claiming to worship God.(1Ki 12:25~33)
However, those who had committed idolatry were all destroyed.
In the same way, even if they claim to worship Jesus on Christmas, it is merely idolatry.
The end of idolatry is destruction.
The Church of God established by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time, does not celebrate Christmas, the birthday of sun-god, which is not found in the Bible.
